New Prince of Persia delayed for PC

Prince of Persia is still coming to the PC, albeit a week later than console …

The PC version of Ubisoft's newest incarnation of Prince of Persia has been delayed. However, PC gamers shouldn't fret too much, as the game will only be coming out a week after its console counterparts.

Earlier today, Blue's News noticed that the game's PC listing on Amazon showed a later release date than the PS3 and 360 editions: the former now has a North American release date of December 9th, whereas the latter still shows a scheduled street date of December 2nd. Eurogamer, meanwhile, has noted a similar delay in European release date, with console editions coming out on the 5th and the Windows version arriving in stores on the 12th.

The exact reason for the delay has yet to be revealed, but this isn't exactly a new operating procedure in the world of video games, as many publishers have opted to release their titles for computers after the console version. Whether for piracy concerns or just to annoy PC gamers, its a rather depressing trend.
